	It will not find a gear if the bonnet is open. One thing to try is open then slam the bonnet. Just incase it wee sensor thinks it is open. May also be the pump, is it under warranty? When you unlock the car do you hear a slight whine of the SMG pump? Daz

	Damn it! Very possibly the SMG pump then, out of waranty think it is �1200. There was some good topics on MTorque, but of course it has been shut down now. Keep us posted, it may help people in the future. And good luck.

	Hi, not wanting to maybe state the obvious but you are pressing the brake pedal while trying to start? Is the pump kicking in when you open the drivers door? Is the lever moving freely from reverse to drive? I've got the bm notes on this SMG box. Theres a bucket load of sensors if it goes wrong... well, manual it Alan.

	Also, check the battery is fully charged, or not just low.
